Answer 1 : ITERATE
To say, state, or perform again.
Synonym: exercise, reiterate, repeat, restate
To iterate is to repeat, as in to say or perform something again. If you loved the high school drama club’s performance of the “Three Little Pigs,” encourage them to iterate the musical so you can see it again.
Iterate comes from the Latin word iterare for “do again, repeat.” Iterate is a transitive verb, so you have to iterate something. A successful play or concert will usually iterate a performance, so more people can see it. People often iterate a point, by repeating, they hope others will understand it better. Politicians often iterate key points. The word reiterate is more familiar, and means something very similar — to repeat something for emphasis.

to say, state, or perform again

DID YOU KNOW?
Can you guess the meaning of iterate, a less common relative of reiterate? It must mean simply “to state or do,” right? Nope. Actually, iterate also means “to state or do again.” It’s no surprise, then, that some usage commentators have insisted that reiterate must always mean “to say or do again AND AGAIN.” No such nice distinction exists in actual usage, however. Both reiterate and iterate can convey the idea of a single repetition or of many repetitions. Reiterate is the older of the two words — it first appeared in the 15th century, whereas iterate turned up around 1533. Both stem from the Latin verb iterare, which is itself from iterum (“again”), but reiterate took an extra step, through Latin reiterare(“to repeat”).
